FAIR,S COAST ROAD.
The Southern Pacific Company
Negotiating for 1t.


SAN FRANCISCO, January l2.-The de.
parture of Senator Fair for Washington,
it is said, will probably result in the re-.
newal of negotiations for the sale of the
South Pacific Coast Railroad to the
Southern Pacific. Huntington is be
lieved to have been the main mover in
the proje for the purchase of the road
and after his departure for the East
negotiations were neglected. It is stated
that Fair will 60 to New York where
both Huntington and Crocker are at pres.
ent. Huntington, it is reported, asked
Fair to name his price for the road. Fair
did SO, stating at the same time the con.
ditions upon which he would sell his
property.
After much discussion basis upon
which the transfer could be made was
agreed upon, as was also the price.
At this juncture Of the negotiations,
Stanford and Crocker went east, dele.
eating to Frank Crocker and Hopkins
power to conclude the negotiations.
They decided to issue bonds in the
name of the South Pacific Coast road,
guaranteeing them in the name OF the
Southern Pacific Company of Kentucky,
q guarantee which was more than per-
feotly satisfactory to Fair. A stumbling
block was reached when the considera-
tion of certain arrangements regarding
the Oakland water front came into the
negotiations. The details of the trans
fer called for q mortgage on the property
as additional security to Fair, but In
drawing up this mortgage the Southern
Pacific people desired to exclude from it
certain sections of land on the water
front which were included in the purch-
sse. To this Senator Fair would not
consent and after much wrangling the
negotiations were declared off. Fair in
tends taking his line to its full capacity
and means to extend the new Alameda
branch of the narrow guage road as far
AZ Gilrov.
